M. ‘The new Secretary of the Treasury is endeavoring to re- edy the abuses in the department which grew up unier Messrs. Corwin and Hodge rapilly ae they come to ight. In addition to putting a stop to the stock broker- age, and the extraordinary custom house contracts in New Orleaps, California, and elsewhere, he has reversed @ decision made in certain Florida sluims, which creates quite an excitement amongst the interested. It appears that Mr. Corwin made additienal allowances of several ‘thousand dollars on some Florida claims’ growing out of the eighth article of the treaty with Spain, after the de- ision of former Secretaries agsinat such extra allowance. Mr. Guthrie has refused to acquiesce in Mr. Corwin’s de- eision, and takes thesame ground inthe matter occupied dy the late Judge Woodbury. In the cases decided by Mr. Corwin the money was patd, but Mr. Guthrie stopsit for the future. I learn at the State Department that Mr. Buchanan has solicited the Hon. John Appleton, s prominent ex- snember of Congress from Maine, to accept the position of Beeretary of Legation at London. Mr. Appleton’s accept- ‘@nce would be of great advantage to the country, as he ‘would bring to the position abilities of a high order, added ‘to modest deportment and a true American heart Mr. ‘Buchanan intends to set an example of republican sim- plicity in the conduct of his mission, and it will be seen whether it will not command fully as much respect as (lavish expenditure and toadyism. In Mr Appleton he will have a valuable coadjutor.

New York Marine Society. ‘The annual meeting of this society, which was to have been held in the Tabernacle last evening, was postponed till next Wedmesday, in censequence of the weather. ‘There were not more than twenty persons present, and some of the speakers were absent. The New York Ma- rine Society, we aro informed by the last annual report was organized in 1770, under a charter granted by George the Third, for the benevolent purpose of relieving the destitute widows and orphan children of deceased ship- marters. Since its organization the society has distri- buted, within a fraction, the sum of one hundred and fifty- to thousand dollars, and have now a permanent fund of nearly forty-four thousand dollars. This amount, says the report, is loaned on bond and mortgeges on real estate worth double the amount, in New Yerk and Brook- lyn; and the duties of the Committee on Loans have been £0 cautiously attended to, together with the examination of titles by the society's able attormey and counsellor, veel Lord, Jr, that little or no loss has ever been sus- tained. The socicty has now on its list fifty-six widows of shipmasters. whe receive from the funds annuslly, (paid semiannually, ard always in advance)—of the first arade, thirty-one widows, $60 eacl; of the second grade, thirteen widows, $50 each; of the third grade, twelve widows, $40 each. ‘The fifty-six widows now on the list, receive annually from the funds of the society about three thousand dol- lars. One widow has received from the society over eighteen hunéred dollars, and two other widows whose husbands were members. reecived more money annually, for over fifty yesrs, than the whole amount paid by their husbands into its treasury. About thirty, continues the report, and moze than half the recipients ‘of the bounties of the society, have for over #wenty years without inter- mission, been annually made to rejoice in the amounts regularly paid them by the treasurer. fhe total amount paid in pensions and donations to ¢is- tressed masters, widows and orphan children, since the formation of this society in 1870, up to January Ist, 1852, amounts to the sum of $156,000. ‘The permanent fund of this society, as before stated, is about forty four thourand dollars. The initiation fee for full membership for @ shipmtster is only thirty dol- lars, and the annual payment afterwards of two dollars, secures to his wife a share of this fund, should she stand in need of it. The report urges upon shipmasters sailing from this port the necessity of enrolling their names as members of this, the oldest society, and which, accord. ing to its meaus, has done more good than any other in- stitution of the kind in this country. The following ge on bave been made to the society 8 at various times during the last ten or twelve years: ~ Capt. Christopher Prince, who was secretary to the society twenty-four years, $054: Capt. Archibald Camp- Dell, $1,600; Capt. Wm, Whitlock, who was a member for forty-seven’ years, and First Vice Prosident seventeen years, $500; Capt. Gabriel Havers, $200. These legacies, together wich interest, after being settled, amount to $8 369 23. Bexides there sums, the society has received handsome donations from some of our respectable ship- ping merchants, ard officers of our city government, especially the Mayors, who have, most of them, become honorary members.

The testimony of the complainant was quite unsatisfactory; and the District Attorney abandon- ing the case, a formal verdict of not guilty was taken, and the prisoners were discharged. TUE GRAND JURY. The Grand Jury came into court, and the foreman ob- served that theyhad some business before them which could not be got through to day (this being the usual day for adjournment), and they would therefore meet to- morrow morning. The Ccurt adjourned accordingly until to-morrow (this day), and the petit jarors were discharged for the term. Heatn or THe Presipent.—We see in the tele graphic columns of certain journals a story to the effect that the health of the Presi has suffered from his revereapplication to the engrossing and laborious duties of his position.

A. Yes, two or three weeks before he killed my daughter he asked me for the money, but I refused to give it to him, saying it was too bad for him to ask for what he bad given ne; he had been boarding with me-Jor the last twe years, and never gave me any money except that, which was in the Savings Bank; when he gave metho money, I told him I would take care of him as long se he wished to siay with me; he afterwards asked me for the money, and on the above night he made such @ noise that I said to him that if be would come with meI would get the money out for him, if he would leave me and neveragain come near me; but he said it was too much expense for two to go to New York, and that it would do for ms togo; T told him that I would not give him the money unless he would leave me; this was the day before he killed the children: his elothes, when he came to the house, were so dirty tbat he had to bury them in a sand pit; he was not clean about his person; witness told him 'to keep himse'f clean; he wanted to marry witness’s daughter, and told him so in the middle of November last; when he spoke to him he did not remember what he said, for wit- ness,got madat him, and said he should leave him; he then asked witness for his money; this was the first time he asked for it; he them said that he did not wixh witness to speak any more about it, and if he did thin he would be us good a friend as ever; witcoss scolded him a good deat when he apoke to him about the money; he did not speak on that subject agnin; could not tell whether he was frightened or mot; the little girl was near éleven years old; dit not observe any- thing unusual in “bis conduet; he was very cross when witness said he would not give him the mo- ney, but got out of his cross mood afterwards; the night before he killed the children he suid he was glad that he did not go to New York to get out the Money; he would stund to what he raid, and live with witness and leave him the money; he was reconciled in bis mind for two or three days before the murder; saw him the day he wax sent to jail by the Coroner, and asked him why he killed his children; bo said he did it because witness would not give him his money; the wit- ness then asked the prisoner if ho did not say he would have a good day’s work dove for him: he avawered and said that he bad, and waa willing to die for it; the night before the murder he came into witreas’s room, passed through, and then went dewn stairs; the way he came to ask witness for his daughter in marriage, was as follows: Gating and him were eoming from work one night, when he said to him, “Tim, I want to speak » word to you;”” he then said that he was getting old, and wanted witness to.give him his, daughter for. wife; witness then took hold of him and said that if he ever mentioned that proposition again, they should part; he then began to scold him. and he promised not to speak on the subject jain. Jacob Quackenbush deposed that he knew the prisener; he had worked for him, and he thought he was the firs one who employed him’after he come from Ireland; he gave him six dsllars a month; he left him because he had # black man with whom be could not agree; he told wit- ness that his reason for leaving was beeause the negro used to jaw him a good deal, and he was afraid that he would be tempted todo romething that would not be yery good; he was extremely quiet at the time; this was in 1851; he lived with witness for nbout three months, in the spring of 1862; witness noticed no change in his ap- pearance duricg the time he was with him: one time he came to him and said that be had given hima bad half dolias ; he was very angry about it; the prisoner was a pretty fair worker, snd did his business behind his back as before him; he was generally silent, but talk- ed'and joked a little sometimes; did not see him angry at apy other ti john Jobnson, being duly sworn, deposed that he knew risoner; gave him $5 60 9 month for work; saw him «n the Monday before the Friday of the fatal occurrence, and he appeared not to be perfectly gatistied with O’Brien; never told any one that Cating wasMot right im his mind.

Mr. Zabriskie, counsel for the prosecution, rose and said that he objected to the examination of I)r. Norton, on the ground that his examination waa too scientific for an unlearned jury to understand. Chief Justice Greene, then rose and said that it was not necessary for a physician to give evidence in such casesas that. He concluded by requesting Mr. Zabriskie to withdraw his motion. The examination was then continued. From his living in Ireland with Tim’s father for no compensation, and not taking any part with his companions while enjoying themselves; his working for Smith, and giving away a present fo man he did not know, and desire that ho might be killed or else he would kill himself; his proposal to marry the child, only eleven years old, impressed the witness that the prisoner was empecile; be Fy Lape to have lived by motive, and not to be influenced by motive as other men are: the pri:oner seemed to him to lack what he considered a sound wind, Cross-examined by Mr. Zabriskie—The facta elicited before him on that day: were enough, in his opinion, ty establish the fact of his having but a diminished quantity of intellect. Q, Can you tell me whether anger is an impulse or not? A. I do not wish to answer that question. Q. Are not most perrons moved to ‘anger by some cause or sense of wrong done to them? A. Yes. Q, Then, can you tell me whether he was capable‘of dis- tinguishing the difference between right and wrong? A. I would like to leave that question to the Court. The examination then continued He thought that when be intended to commit the murder he ought to have known the enormity of the crime. Q, Then, do you, from what you have seed, think'that he is capable of ‘distinguishing the dimeregce between right and wrong? Dr. Carle then testified that the prisoner, in his opi- nion, was capable of knowing the dilferesce between right and wrong. He had not the head of a Webster, nor was he capable of taking the place of the gentleman at the bar, but in his judgmeut he was save to that degree that makes a man responsible for his xctions, The evidence on both sides here closed, and the Court adjourned until 9 o'clock the next morving. SECOND DAY. ‘The court met pursuant to adjournment, at 9 o'clock, when the names of the juro:s were called, ‘each one an. swering to his name. Mr, Aabelikie, counsel: for /the prosecution, then sub- mitted some authorities to the court defining insanity. Mr. Bradley then summed up the evidence for the de. fevce. They came there not for the purpose of amuse- ment or to show their skill in the management of causes; they came there for an important object. The counsel for the pria ner entered on their duty inorder that jus- tice might be doveand that the innecent should not suffer with theguilty. It was im order to bring out those facts which may tend to serve the prisoner as well a9 to con- demn him, that he filled the situation he then held. If he did not commit the murder it would be highly wron; tocenvict him. At was a selemn scene to see the trial a murderer; it was one of those great features of their in- stitutions to make the best search for evidence that may serve the prisoner. It was a beautiful feature, for even the jury did not know the moment when one of them might be accused, rightfully or wrongfully. It was not necessary for him to urge any further considerations, ox- cept to banish from their minds anything like pias or pre- judice They should look upon the cass as if they had rot heard anybody saying anything about the occurrence. He would not ask them to deviate from the course of their own conscience in the matter. They should listen to the charge of the court with patience. In such a cause asthe one before them, there #as no room for re senting; it was not a place where there was room for biaseed opinions. The objects for punishment and trial in human society, on man by man, were multi- form. There were more objects than one to be attain: ed, the first and great one was to deter others from @ like offence; tke second, which was also a great one, and second only to’ the first in importance, was to vindicate outraged justice and law, or, in other words, to visit man with his deserts. The injured or in. censed parties would, if not for this law, take the law into their own hands; society would become a sceae of blood: bed; man would rise up and revenge the wrongs dove to his fellow mep, his neighbor, his children, aud bis family, It was not necessary that the hand of tie low should exierd io those who did not deserve its pun- ishment, Anocher object was to prevent the offender from repeating sueh a crime, and another obj-ct was to ¢fiect reformation But, gentlemen of the jury, these ob- jects can never be ttained by prosecuting those whoare vot guilty. It can afford no rearon to deter others from crime, nor can it appease that sense of injustice which we feel when we see an atrocious crime committed, and when we know that a person who is not guilty is ished for it. Our natures would experience a great shock atthe wreaking of indiscriminate vengeance on the in nocent, We would be more outraged in onr feelings if we saw an insocent man made to suifer thanif a guilty one had been acquitted. It ix better that many guilty men sheuld go free than an innocent man should suffer. Hence it was necessary for the jurors always to regard facts in favor of the prisoner, and never to convict him unleas they could not help it. They should not come to the conclusion of his being guilty before he was proved assuch, Every man who saton the jury should feel that he was not confident of the prisoner's guilt ualess ‘he was compelled to do ao by the circumatances. A per- son incapable is not guilty, No good would he attained by inflicting punishment on a person of that desori against him, by standard fixed tion.

In the investigation of the sub- ject he would appeal more te the sense aud reason, the thisg than.to » large collection of book author: ity.

Each and every one of those featcres of his character ar3 consistent in showing that he is irrespourible. It was not nosessary that he should be an idiot. He may have all the capacity to do work, and be cavable of having affection with thore whom. he associated with; but that was not consistent that he had a knowledge of right and wrong. A. dog knows the difference between right snd wrong, and will run away from the whip when he knows he has done wrong. Hven those who are clearly insane have a sense of right and wrong. It is said that he ought to know the extent of the crime. It was imposible to lay down a single rule-to govern all questions. The law is that none but thow who ere guilty can be punished—none but those who. Dave a sound mind and discretion are guilty, and that ix as far as the Judge on the bench can so, for if they yo so far as to show the jury evidence of that law, thea they fo Deyond thor duty, Tho abstract law is that he who has not sound discretion should not be punished. The law is, to make a man guilty he must be of souud me. mory and discretion. To find out whethor he is respon- sible they should find out by the scientific knowledge of a medicai man Would the gentlemen of tho {cry give judgment against those who have made the diseases of the mind their study? Would it not be presumption for them to do so? Suppose that one of their family should be diseased, to whore would they go ?“Would they go toa carpenter, or any other mechanicr No, they would go to thore who have dissected the body from head to foot, and who knowevery bone, yein and sinew in the human frame. They would go to him; and ao in regard to this gate, Who were the proper judges, they or the physician? Men who know all about the mind, and who have made it their Htudy, tell ue that if man is immane on oue point, theytrhovld not trust bis understanding on any other, Just like the diseases of the body, thoy are: sympathetic, ‘They could not place any rellance on what they may do. or what they might do. Those who have made it their study ought to know best, ‘The learned counsel for the State bad said that any common man was capable of judging whether a man’s mind was diseased or not. He did not think so; they might form an opinion, but it sould be an opinion only. To prove that he is responsi- ble, snd that he is imbecile, was the intention of the prisoner’s counsel, Tho fact of his giving Timothy O'Brien all the money he earned, aud learting on him for support, like an infant, is conclusive that he ts imbecfle. Again, he was not able to take care of himself. He was ulways, except when with Tim, ina filthy condition, He did not seem to care for himself. Again, his asking O’Brien for his daughter Mary for a wife, he being a man over fifty years of age, and shs only eleven—if this was net proof of insanity: it was clearly proof of his being im decile and having a disordered mind, The evidence proves that hit mind had lost its ba’ance at the time when he committed the fatal act.

Mr. Zabriskie then summed up the evidence for tho prosecution, stating in eloquent terms the account of the murder and the clroumstances attending it. He argued that doctors’ opinions, ina great many cases, diffe: and that they could not depend on any one school seien Chief Justice Greene then proceeded to deliver hi charge to the + , as follows:—This indictment, he said, cbarges that Willem Cating, the prisoner at the bar, on the dist December, 1862, at the township of W: nm, wilfully ard of his malice aforethought, did kill and mur- der Mary O’Brien Whether he be guilty or not guil .y as he stands charged in the incictwent, is that upon which you are sworn and charged to try. In order to convict the prisoner of the crime charged in the indistuent, 't is necessary that the State should prove to your satisfac: tion: First, That Mary O’Brien was killed by the prisoner; eecond, that the killing was wilful; and, thicd, that it was with mélice aforethought, which necessarily implies that the prisover was possessed of sufficient mental capacity to corttitute him an accountable agent, snd to render him responsible for his actions. The precise time and manner of the deed is not material; nor is it material that you should be satisfied whether the killing was with the Knife or the axe. It is enough if you are patisied that the killing was dove with the one or the other, or at about the time ebarged in the indictment. The learned Chief Justice bere went into a brief resume of the main facts in the case. The prisoner fied after commit- ting the murder, and was not found for two days. When taken, he at once admitted that he had killed the children, and stated his motive for doing it. This statement he has more than once voluntarily re- peated. Under these circumstances you will probably have no rfiiculty in arriving at the conclusion that Mary O'Brien came to her death by the hands of the prisoner, through violenee wilfully inflicted. It will remain for you to inquire whether the killing was of malice aforo- thought; that is, not whether the prisoner was actuated by spite or malevolence against the deceased, Mary O’Brien, in particular, but whether the killiog ‘was the cictate of a wieked, depraved, and malignant heart. This inquiry, as tas already Veen said, necessarily in. volves another, viz: whether the prisoner was possessed of suflicient mental capacity necessary: to entertain and vent the malice necessary to constitute leyal add moral guilt Itis obvious that, in order to contract legal or moral culpsbility, the actor mast be a moral agent—a being endowed with reason and powers of reflection, An infant of tender yewrs, an idio: or lunatis, » person from any cause destitute of moral sense, or the power of dis. tinguishing betwee right and wrong, merit or demerit, can obviously. neither contract guilt nor become the proper subject of human punishment. | Persons partially jrobecile, persons of weak minds, destitute of the usual degree of intelligence, who fall below the ordinary standard of human capacity, may or may.not be capa- ble of committing 9 crime, depending, of course, on the degree of their imbecility; and this’ presents, in any given case, a question to be settled by a jury, wheth er the degree of imbecility is such as to excuse the ac- cused — In this case the rasl question, perhaps I may say the only serious question. is, (admitting that the prisoner ix n person of less than the ordinary intelligence which itutes the average of human capacity.) did be pos- en he committed the act, sufficient intelligence and meral sense to render him answerable to human tri- bunels for his sets? I; were worse than useless to em- barras you, or to perplex the case with abstruse specu Jarions, or with technical learning, on this subject, Our Suty isa practical one. Whatever difficulties and dis tinctions scientifi¢ research may have suggested, the law lays down a clear and practical rule for your guidance. ‘Ihe test of capacity prescribed in eriminal eases, is sim- yly this : Was the accured capable of distinguishing be- tween right and wrong? Was he conscious at the timeof the commistion of the act that he was committing o crime? It he wan, be is legally responsible for his conduct. In order to absolve the accused from guilt, a higher de- gree of fovbecflity must be chowm than would be sufl- cient to die charge him from the obligation of his contracts. He is not to be excused simply becanse he is in some de- xree of an unround mind; that he isineapable of mana- ging his affairs with reason and diserotion; that his percep tions are dull, his judgment weak, and his memory im. jaired. The mind tay be feeble, it may be partially shat- tered or impaired by misfortune, by age, by disease, by intemperavee, and yet the party may be « moral agent, and Irgeily accountable. If he understapds the nature and charseter of his act and its consequences; if he has « knowledge that it is wrong, and has mental power suffi- cient to apply that knowledge to his own case, and know tlat if he commits the act he will do wrong and receive punishment, his partial imbecility will not exempt him inem responsibility for his acts, If, then, it is proved to your ratisfaction that the mind of the prisoner is weak, that his mind falls below the ordinary standard of human whether his imbecility was ty, the question will be, hat, at the time of the homicide, he was so far dea- te of reason, conscience and judgment, as to be inca- pable of knowing what he was doing; that he was commit fivg a crime, and solng that which would involve him in cult, ond subject him to punishment. That, gentle- wen, i8@, question exelusively tor your decision. ' In con- ling it, and im weighing the éffects of the evidence, uw/h bear in mind that when a wilful killing has heen perpetrated, the Iaw presumes that every person ever fourteen yoors of age is possessed of sufficient wentsl capacity to be guilty ot crime. The fact of the homicide being proved to your aati-faction, the barcen of proof then lies on thé defendant. He faust vatisfy you that he was not possessed of Lino ce: tion, “Tt is not for the State to prove that Lgurposely abstain from all comments upon the evidence in the cause, The circumstances relied on in support of the defendant's nf et are still fresh in your pete f tion.

Father Gavazzi’s Lesture. ‘Father Gavaezi delivered the first lecture of his second sexies at Metropolitan Hall, list evening, Owing to the severe weather which we then experienced, the attend- ance was very limited. There were about one hundred and fifty persons present at eight o'clock. When the Padre made his appearance, he was hailed with loud ap- plause, He raid—Before I begin to speak upon subject— “Popery and Paganism are the same’—I well mention to my Italian and other hearers that I will devote te morrow evening to the speaking about our common friends, the Jesuita, I trust the evening will be more favorable tham this, which we would callin Italy, black one, and which, Thelieve, is a true type of a Jesuit’s conscience. It is ne- cessary that I should observe that the Roman Catholic churek is not out of the pale of salvation, as she has Christ for a foundation; but, if it were possible to cut away Christ from the Popish* system altogether, there would be none in the Church, for her justification is by works of supererogation, and not by faith in him, Paul says, “ Our foundation is Christ,’? and that in'the stone uyon which to build; but, instead of that, the Popish rystem was built out of all sorts aud claxses of works, and pure religion was thus transformed into Paganism, ‘Therefore, I respect the people of the Romish Church, for they are ignorant of the working of the priesthood, wha founded a rotten system upon the pure Gospel of Christ. Some members of the Popish system may be saved; but, ax they make salvation to depend upon works, it is very cifficult for them to obtain heayen; and-Saint John Chrysostom believed that only one in every one thousand would be so saved. Therefore it is a Christian work for us to make @ war against this fatal system. We wiil now examine and see that Popery is m. I will look at i¢ in iferent points. “First, when Con- stantine the Great imposed Cnristianity upon the Us jew many of them were introduced into the bosom the church of Christ, the Emperor having @ rale that none but Christiars could serve in his army, or hold offices un- Chureh; which thoy did ft'sa Wechal eteed Cates church, wi 0: ust as ont house { Jacob, with the idols’ of ker ra q ‘till Pageuo tu SUUT. o tiene, ” pM) jas then rather weak to power, and perhaps was influenced number of converts at ohee, just as confessesard absclves hundreds, in order that you may read in the mews apern that ‘we had 600communiecants.’” ‘Thirdly, when the Primitive Church fell away from the faith of Christ, the priests and popes thought that the Pagan rites and ceremunies could be made profitable, and, instead of teaching the simple faith in Christ, which, ag Fossuet, of the good Gallican church, observes, is all cf one piece, they gave them the Papist Paganism, com- ed of different pieces, put on by different men im ifferent ages. In conclusion, I will say that Paganiem, supports Popery to-day, for she trangubstantiated the G pel of Christ into the body and blood and soul of Pa- ganiem for her own ends. This ig proved by her gods, her priesta, and her ceremonies. In a mass house you will see many altars, upon each of which Christ is offered to his Father. ‘lken there are many statues and images TI sew in one church in Baltimore—Saint Alphonso’s Church—a statue of the Virgin Mary in in marble with her child in her arms, and-in another Tree, @ painting of the same good Virgin, exposing her racred heart bleeding, and her chile also painted. Now, this is worse than Paganism, which had only one Jano, one Apollo, one Ceres. and one Venus; for here is a Virgin with two gods, and different gods on different altars. In St. Nicholas’ church, at Rome, there are seven altars and seven gods. This exceeds ' Paganism. (Cheers. ‘The Pagans had deities rurales—or rural gods—to preside over gardens, apd in my country the Romans openly de- dicate to the taints such places. Hore they practice an impostuze to deceive you, and it is written upon a ohurch: —* Dedicata Deo Maximo in Saneto Petro.’ That is, ‘Dedicated to God in honor of Saint Veter.” ' This is a cunning mask; but. in Italy pou tee saint’s image upon every tree for worship. in Italy they have the same names as the Pagans-St. Ce yes, St. Diana, St Satyrus, and the necessary St. Lacebus, to preside over drinking. They have saint trons for the toothache, the earache, and every mortal and so bad the Pagans. In ancient Rome the nurses brought their babies to the temple of Romalus to ask Romulus and Remus to intereede for the child, and in the very same temple the Popes have appointed St. Theodorus to watch over young eliildren, and you ¢ see a long file of pretty nurses going to the alts the Pagan churches they nailed up brass heads, hands, and legs to the ancient gods, and inthe great Catholic churches of Naples you seo human relics presented to the patron saints. It had been ssid that Romulus ap- pears to Julius Proculus, and in Rome they tell that St. veter, St Paul. St. hee and others, appeared, and that the bodies of St. Stephen and Lawrence were carried to Rome after the apparition of St. Stephen. The kindness of the Psgan priets made gods of Caligula, Heliogabolus, Dioclesian, and nearly all tyrants and mur- dcrers, and the Romish priests, just inthe same way, ca- nonived Gregory the Seventh and Pius the Fifth, after the infawous lite of the one with the Princess Mat and that priests, like the red, green, vi: white, and black the bere ne fifteen ne victims the Inquisition. The elder pagans had thetr pilgrimages like the modern Pagans; they had th woes dresses of ben of the modern priesthood. In the Flamines we see the cardinals of Rome, and their Pontifex Maxi- yous ts now the Pope. Sevecs rebuked Caligula for offer- ing his foot to mento kiss, bat I, my once thonght it.a favor to stoop to kiss the aly toe of Gre. gory the Sixteenth. In Plato we read of men retired irom life; these are the movks, the nuns, and friars of the Paganism of Rome. The Pagans had candles for the altars, the Pope bas his, The Pagans had their salt and water blessed, and if you go to a mass house, you will see Irish women on a hot day—very necessary—wash their faces in the holy water vase, which corresponds with the aquamaria of the. Pagan worship. The care only kied the water upon men, but at Rome, Aa- thony, the A fs made the patron of horses, mules, abses, ) and aren upon one day in the year the animals are spr by a his . worse than Paganism. (Cheers.) The padre took a long collateral view of all the ri and ceremonies of Rome, and concludéd by calling on all to avoid weariog crosses and Puseyite trinkets treet, for by this means Popery will xteal upon the land. Your churches are in some plese crnamecned with crosses, This is Puseyism. Remember, one church near Fourth avenue had the cross rst upon it, then a little Puseyism, and now, my friends, it is Po, church. Put such things away from you. Let the have his mosque, the Jew his synagogue the Chinese his pagoda, and the Papist his mass house, but, my Ameri- ean friends, do you have nothing but the pureand simple word of God, (Loud cheers.) ‘8 vanity to have a of to-day 3 Destavetive Free IN PnitAperrata.—Yerter- day afternoon, about half past six o'clock, @ fire was Siscovered in’ tho extensive five story whdlessle fang: Ary gocds stere of Messrs.
